Any Christmas episode is a good episode imo

What is up with Tohru's hate towards God? XD is it because she is a chaos-dragon and thus opposed to the foreces of good (like the dragons of harmony)... Oh! and in case you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about: Tohru says sha "I hate to celebrate the birthday of that guy" about christmas XD
They changed that in the dub

The play was very funny and random. I don't think the dragons understood the story, but it's nice to see something different. (They even thought the grandma killed the girl in the original. lmao) The whole fairy+mahou shoujo thing was so silly and over the top! xD But looks like the elders enjoyed it, which is the most important thing. Fafnir refusing to bow in front of the "inferior humans" when the play was over was a nice detail in order to maintain his persona.
I liked how Tohru and Kanna made a new chimney and put lights on it so Santa could find them.
The party after the play looked very entertaining and comfy. Kobayashi and Tohru had a nice time flying together, too. (Maybe Kobayashi drank too much beer and that's why she wanted to fly? Hyped Tohru after getting the scarf was too fast for her, though.)
That final scene. lol Cracking wooden floors are the sneaking people's number 1 enemy, I know it from my own experience! xD Kanna spent more than 2 hours on full alert while Kobayashi hid next to the bed... poor woman. xD


Omg everything makes sense now! This can't be a coincidence. So awesome!

Honestly this might be my favourite episode so far, I was constantly laughing my ass out during the play, I love ridiculous stuff like that <3 Random moments with Kanna are always pure gold, too bad they don't use comedy like that more often.

Boy I had so much fun with this episode! The play was so funny and fun to watch, especially because they changed most of The Little Match Girl story to their own accord. Top tier adaptation, disney who???? Fafnir wasn't so bad of an actor after all, wish he could get more screen time. Also, I relate to Saikawa so much.

was such a great episode. Nice idea of bringing in a new theme that let's the characters put in their comedy. Like their naive thinking about Santa Claus. Also, nice small detail with Kanna poking and patting peoples heads.

As for the play, it's actually a brilliant idea. It really let's the characters fulfill their comedic potential, and it's a great way to ridicule all the cliches (that i am personally so tired of) so it was a huge bonus for me

* Christmas is a cute theme.

* Everyone's new holiday costumes are so adorable! ♥

* It feels nice to have all the dragons in the same episode.

* I'm so glad that Faf was in the play.

* Everyone getting together and enjoying themselves.

* More Dragon-Tohru is a dream too!

* Tohru getting more affection (and a cute scarf) from Kobayashi ♥

My favorite episode thus far!

-The audition and rehearsal scenes were hilarious throughout and each character received spotlight in the episode that allowed them to really showcase their eccentricities and added to their endearment. As for that play, I don't know what the fuck I just watched but it was fucking awesome.

-D'aww, Kanna waiting for Santa Claus and Kobayashi failing XD

-Kobayashi and Tohru exchanging gifts :D

The first thing that came into my mind when Shota was introduced a few episodes ago was: 'He'll be a great subject for cute girly outfits (Basically a trap) because of his appearance!' And now that happened XD

You know that Fafnir is already very influenced by the 'modern cultures'(?) at this point when he starts to talk about magical girls and Virtual Reality, First Frame Shotter, Free For All...

This episode surpassed last one. More main-side characters are interacting together and Fafnir is even here! more hilarious and adorable moments so yeah... Nice

This was such a cute episode! I loved seeing them work together to put on a play. Fafnir is so monotone, it's funny. His voice is great though. Maybe I just like Daisuke Ono's work too much...

Overall good episode, Christmas was a few weeks ago so it's more or less fitting.

Loved the first 5 episodes to death. Since then though, it hasn't really been doing it for me. It's been feeling rather bland imo. It's still alright though, maybe it's just me with the feeling of novelty wearing off too soon. Who knows. I hope these remaining episodes do it better for myself

That was such a great and wholesome episode, that play was awesome lmao. I didn't know about that little match girl story until now, that's kinda dark, did she keep lighting the matchstick until it burned herself and then passed away, damn. The dragon's play started off accurately and then umbrella Shota appeared and it's free real estate from there.

Them seniors really called it cgi lmao, they're a little confused, but they got the spirit. The gag with Kanna waiting for Santa was so cute.

That was a wonderful Christmas play. The elders loved every second of it. :)

Aww, that headpat. :3

Shouta as a Little Match Girl was adorable, hehe.

Well, I still liked Kanna's version better. I'm sure Riko agrees with me. x3

Lucoa being a sexy dynamite again. <3

Mahou Shoujo Kanna. <3

Kanna and Riko were so cute on stage. ^^

Kanna riding on Riko's back was hilarious. Riko's reaction was pretty expected. x3

This time the whole group of dragons gather to put on a play for a retirement home. The play becomes a mish-mash of a variety of themes and Miss Kobayashi appears with a hint of anxiety ... hilarity ensues again.

Another great episode with all the dragons working together. Seeing how all their personalities mesh is rather fun to watch.

How appropriate that I watch a Christmas episode for this show and it’s closing in that time of year for me, anyways the gang is working on a play for the elderly in the retirement home and my god was it the funniest thing ever. First it started off as The Little Matchgirl, okay something traditional kind of a sad tale at that penned by the same man who wrote The Little Mermaid, Hans Anderson Christensen but because it’s Tohru and the rest of the dragons, they end up making it bonkers as a result and it just kept on derailing and deviating from the point of the whole story from having a bit from The 47 Ronin, with Magical Girls being a focus as well as Lucoa basically showing up as the Magic Fairy that it’s just fun to watch.

I like how they were struggling to make it entertaining because no matter how you look at it, The Little Match Girl is pretty much a bleak fairytale in and out of universe and I don’t blame them for adding all those things in there because otherwise it would’ve been a completely different experience for the old people watching in particular. And it doesn’t really matter because the elders end up liking it anyway which is the main thing. I laughed at the one old guy just thinking that there was CGI in the play. XD

And oh Kanna truly is innocent with all the Santa Claus. To the point that Tohru gave her a chimney in her room so that he could deliver her presents. Poor Kobayashi at the end though, I wonder how long she had to stay hidden to avoid being caught by Kanna to just lay down her present to her. XD

daaaamn, Elma got burned hard by Tohru in the opening minutes.

Too bad it is a c-word winter holiday season episode and they chose to adapt such a depressing story. At least, it happened earlier than expected so it's already out of the picture, and some fun came out of it, all the characters sucked at acting at the audition for their own reasons and i was almost thinking that Shouta of all people would have landed the role.

Oh, well, it turned out as a already seen trope of a "absurd stage play that still entertained the audience somehow" (Inuyasha remembers, also Zombieland Saga even if it was a musical performance in the latter example)

Yeah, a gift by Tohru was a little too suspect. But the fact they spent some time flying in the air was nice, and also Kobayashi having a gift herself in exchange.
